Nakatani tries to become world champion in the third weight class

There will be fireworks in Tokyo on February 24 as Mexico’s Alexandro Santiago (28-3-5, 14KOs) will attempt to defend his WBC World bantamweight title for the first time in Japan against local favorite Junto Nakatani (26-0, 19KOs).

Santiago won the green belt by defeating the legendary Nonito Donaire, while the tough Nakatani will try to become world champion in his third weight class after flyweight and super-flyweight.
